Twenty years on and he still thinks
He'll make a dent on the shrinking world
But the pent-up way it works still stinks
The spinning of wheels
Has been enough to keep him occupied
Keep him tough
But there's no momentum
Just the gravel and the spinning
And those who could help him disappear saying
Wish we could but we'd interfere
After all they have their own careers
Hey look up look down look out somehow
Look through the blindfold
Shake your fist and bet your soul
You're in the way and the big wheels roll
Big wheels roll big wheels roll
Oh no one gets on a leaky ship
Associations can weaken one's place in history
He tells himself
And he tells himself that they're lame and weak
But he only has himself to blame
For being scatterbrained quarantined
How can one fool one's self so long
How can one hold the dream so tight
He chokes it and provokes a wrong
Hey look up look down look out somehow
Look through the blindfold
Shake your fist and bet your soul
You're in the way and the big wheels go
Hey
He says
Damn the cool-headed
And the setters of goals who can feel no evil
No heat no cold
Who wouldn't know passion
If it swallowed them whole
For whom true love is a left-brain risk
For whom the giving of life is a needless myth
Who cover their graves with monoliths
Cool heads prevail and we'll become extinct
Mutants too unfit to wish
That's the fallout of our fingerprints
Hey look up look down look out somehow
Look through the blindfold
Shake your fist and bet your soul
You're in the way and the big wheels roll
Big
Wow
Look up look down look out somehow
Look through the blindfold
Shake your fist and bet your soul
You're in the way and the big wheels roll
Hey
Big wheels roll big wheels roll
Yeah
